# Saurav Das accuses YouTubers of filming inside his Delhi home

2026-08-05T22:52:19+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk

Saurav Das, chief spokesperson of the Cockroach Janta Party, said on 5 August that YouTubers and other media persons had entered his Delhi residence and filmed inside it without his knowledge or permission. The Hindu reported that Das called the episode a serious invasion of privacy and a threat to his and his family's security, and that he was away in Maharashtra at the time attending a two-day meeting of Citizens for Justice and Peace. He said 15 to 20 people had gathered outside his home from Wednesday morning, with some having camped there overnight. A South district police officer told the paper that security had been posted at the residence once Das raised the matter on X. Because he was out of town, someone acting on his behalf filed a draft complaint at Greater Kailash police station, which was expected to be formally registered and investigated. The episode also drew reactions from Arvind Kejriwal and Derek O'Brien.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Das's version pins down a headcount, a timeframe and a location, yet names no individual who actually went inside his home or confirms that any recording happened inside the house rather than outside it. Kejriwal and O'Brien weighing in publicly widens the audience for the episode without adding a witness or a fresh detail about the residence itself. Worth tracking is whether Greater Kailash station formally registers the complaint lodged on Das's behalf, and what officers conclude once they look into who was actually on the property that morning.
